Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
不那么好看 但是回味无穷 回味的是恶心 冬兵演的这个角色太残忍太恶心了 厉害👍🏻
剧本本身一般，但反杀段落和配角设置还是有些新意的。
两倍速刷完，可以节约你无聊生命中的一个小时。 结尾甚是荒诞，就好像在说，性别平等道阻且长主要在于，女性中的叛徒使然… 另外，理论上来说，天主教教皇不是小男孩的主要买家吗，怎么会只有女性商品。
人间烟火，百姓家常，生活质感，质朴真实。多线叙事，流畅连贯，衔接自然。在好好讲故事，有头有尾(没有乱剪乱切镜头)
所有经由男性吞食女性肉块建立的男性对女性的剥削压榨的比喻全部被后段的血浆及糟糕的剧情设置破坏
并不是打倒一个厨子就算圆满，背后把女人吃干抹净，还谈笑风生的幕后群体才是最大的反派！但是黑人闺蜜的那句“就因为有这群助纣为虐的碧池才害得我们生活得这么艰难”还是爽到我了！！！
女主也太没有防备心了吧，这就是单久了的后果吗？喜欢片头出来的时间和字幕效果。滥用BGM，用得还很不好。恐怖氛围营造不佳。反派塑造得也不够恐怖，有编导的原因，也有塞巴斯蒂安演技的原因。Daisy的演技很棒。以为吃人会有什么隐喻呢，结果literally就是吃人，lame; 但看到后来才发现其实重点也许在男女主的“关系”以及对male fantasy的讽刺，可惜讽刺得还是太幼稚，不够deep。酒保临阵脱逃的设计很妙。Ugh, men. 反倒是反派妻子的设计不罕见。彩蛋才是真的恐怖。Crazy thing is, I used to so believe that love IS to give my entire self to someone else. It’s FUCKED-UP.
女主好看。整体有点惊悚，引发生理不适。饭前饭后慎看。2022.03.13
Kind of ew and kind of hehe, giggling
Et voilà，2022年第3部新片。
7/10. 说这不仅仅是猎奇片和这是实验电影的倒不至于，这就是一爽片，反杀看得真爽。Sebastian演变态不错，cold open前的梦幻理想男人他驾轻，撕下面具后的畸形可悲看得我咬牙切齿。Bitches like you are the fucking problems和He’s married?确实有让我大笑出声。
剧情没什么新鲜的 拍摄有些镜头挺好 导演果然视觉出身
3.5 前面节奏还是不错的，后面男主妻子的男保镖，还有前来救人的黑大哥出场好像毫无意义，反杀过程有点迷。
演职人员一个不认识颇惊喜的小成本片。鱿鱼游戏姐妹组织么啧啧
专“吃”女人的世界 384老得真快 片尾曲YYYS「Heads Will Roll」好评~
中规中矩女性主义反杀爽片，不过还是挺爽的（。如果艾米锤演男主我能再加一星（不是
关于疫情的电影已经上了一部又一部，可疫情并未远去，还在反复，希望明年能好起来，生活不要再被疫情打乱😭😭😭
有点儿失望，情节发展的有点太简单了，很多情景太笼长
拍的很文艺很小清新，最后十分钟才开始反杀，也不够血腥
其中混杂的清新式仿讽在形式上为本不“新鲜”的内容加入了一些别样的风味，但过于强烈的意识形态煽动性使得其叙事基底与内容本身矛盾重重，变成喜剧，也许是一种必然。
